I've had my G35 coupe since 2004. Even till this day, I'm still very happy with my G and love just looking at it when parked or in windows as I'm driving. Its one of the nicest vehicles on the road being that mine is 6 years old already in my opinion. I've lived in Germany for 5 years and it still stands out amongst all the BMW's, Audis, Mercedes and other German cars. In Germany you see so many of those cars around. Everyone and their mom owns a BMW. Even the taxis and buses are Mercedes. I'm about to replace my first clutch and I have just over 120,000 miles. I've never had any problem besides having to replace the window motor for the passenger side. I'm sure that all the recalls from the past owner have been taken care of by this time. If not, then you probably won't have any problems anyway considering when these recalls were announced. There aren't any Infiniti dealerships in Europe or where I am currently (Turkey). So I wouldn't worry about it so much. If you always wanted one, I would get one. You'll always wonder "what if" if you don't. I payed just over $40k for mine and I don't regret it one bit. Hope this helps.

 

Other than your recalls, just make sure to check your oil levels consistently. If it comes with nav it will tell you if you need maintenance such as low fuel otherwise use the dipstick.

 

I always wanted a G35 Coupe and im still getting one .. i got hooked on them the moment they first came out ... then i finally drove one about 2 years ago it was a 04 6MT and boy did it pull hard .... but then i drove a 5AT about a year ago... and its better for me ( eventhough i know how to drive a MT) because i live in N.Y.C and traffic is really toooo damn crazy here at times...

 

Yes i have researched like crazy... about the serious oil consumption .. the engine has ...i have always stayed on track with the maintanance on all my previous cars... i used to own strickly Supras and SC 300's but i always wanted a G35 coupe... the style.. and power both the 5AT and 6MT both have and the growl from the exhaust which always breaks my neck lol ... and if you keep it clean and stay on track with the paint job.. it really turns heads.. and gets alot of attention..

 

Yeah bone stock I still get complements and its an 04... lol
